I think (but don't know for sure) widespread solar electricity grids should already be here. Traditional means should vice versa with solar panels in terms of energy production

It's early days with AI I don't know how much will be paywalled. However if it's part of your job then your workplace will pay for it. If you're learning then there will be student access. It is just a tool and there's much hype about it. I don't see any immediate threat that humans won't overcome and adapt to. The progress is startling but that's where we've got a little tripped up. I don't as of yet associate fear with AI just more possibilities. It really depends if powerful people get to gatekeep the power of future AI. That's something we don't yet know.

It will be improved towards what is needed.

The question is not about "I lost my job, where to go". The question is to plan ahead for a year at least.

Frankly, AI already did kill our future. We can't plan for it, we can't prepare for it, we don't what will happen tomorrow. It's like knowing the date of your death, but from the opposite angle. The same frustration and fear.

And if you don't have access to it, what those should do?

Do you know what the volumetric consumption rate is (i.e. CO2/Liter of culture/h)? That is really the decissive factor in such endeavours. If I remember correctly, past studies haven't been able to surpass the capture rate of a regular tree. That is still worth investigating because you can get better end products from the capture but you basically compete against planting trees and turning them into something else through sugar fermentation.

You’re a bad writer. Whatever the asinine message you’re trying to convey is made so much worse by mixing words and syntax into a completely awful dog’s dinner of a diatribe. Please apologize to my eyeballs and brain for assaulting them.

AGI is a hardware, that is not chained with awaiting for the prompt.

Imagine a loop "do... While...". Where "While" is limited by energy consumption.

The rich will make themselves enough exceptions that they won`t get hit too much by that. Supercars, yachts and so on....

so they say...

No.

They will keep it to themselves as long as possible.

EVs are already cheaper and are still getting cheaper. Whole combustion cars get bigger and more expensive

Still waiting on my back to the future style hover board. Not that fake shit y’all are trying by to call a hover board.

People hate this argument usually, but i see a role for government here. If a company makes a true agi, that company will be visited by the govt real fast. (Im in Scandinavia, so my govt doing this is not very scary)

Now, depending on the govt who do the visiting this may or may not be a good thing. But there is atleast a chance government regulation will lead to better outcomes than Microsoft taking over the world.

he sells keyboards? 🤔

I expected full selfdriving, more clean energy, and advanced home robots by now.

I did not expect microsoft claiming their ai showing hints of agi.

Its a wild ride thats for sure

Green hydrogen is being invested in incredibly heavily around the world at the moment. Something like 26 billion USD of new investment was announced in 2022 alone. Hydrogen is a great energy carrier, and we can use it in a lot of industrial processes too. When you have a green energy grid with a lot of solar and wind, whenever there is oversupply you shunt this power into making green hydrogen. This actually has positive market effects for producers and consumers alike. Then when the wind stops blowing you use your fuel cell to make electricity. This part is pretty damn efficient.

The major part of the cost to make green hydrogen is the cost of electricity, and if you can engineer or take advantage of situations where electricity is cheap then it’s a great way to store energy that can last for years vs. batteries that slowly loose charge in weeks. Once you can make it for less than US$1 per kg, it becomes more attractive than diesel. The US DOE is investing $$ in their 1:1:1 challenge to get the average cost of green hydrogen down to less than $1 for 1 kilo in 1 decade. They may well succeed too.

If this happens there’s a tonne of cool stuff that might happen, not just cars and planes, bit alternative methods of making both concrete and steel which both happen to be 8% each of global CO2 output. Greening these processes would be a massive deal for our collective carbon footprint let alone the fun we could have with really long range lightweight cars and planes.

An agi could them completely self sufficient, they won’t need any money.

An agi could do everything a human can which means no human would earn money anymore.

I’m not discounting nuclear at all, I particularly think these small modular reactors look amazing, and while we’re still talking fission rather than future fusion (let’s go!) then these molten salt reactor designs look great. They’re basically impossible to meltdown. Essentially the reaction situation is hard to maintain and any failure results in the reaction stopping rather than going critical. Good stuff. However it still comes with the problem of long (loooonnnnnggg) lasting radioactive waste. I can’t wait for fusion to get going.

Life is only meaningful because there is an end. I’ll take my cool 80 years.
